Crews rescue injured man stranded on building

A man working on an air conditioning system was stranded atop a Phoenix building Friday morning after suffering an injury that left him unable to move.

Firefighters were called to the building, near 24th Street and University Drive, just before 9 a.m., according to Phoenix fire spokesman Capt. Dorian Jackson.

The man, believed to be in his 40s, was reportedly stuck on the roof of the Top-Seal Corp. warehouse, also known as Drug Plastics Closures Inc.

Jackson said the sizzling temperatures likely exacerbated the man's discomfort.

Firefighters used a ladder to reach the roof and performed a "delicate operation" to remove him without injuring him further, Jackson said.

The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment. He was reportedly in stable condition but in a lot of pain.
